This image depicts him as a Colonel, during the Spanish-American War, wearing his Rough Rider uniform. He was part of the 1st Cavalry, U.S. Volunteers (hence the U.S.V. on his collar). This picture, circa 1898, is part of the Signal Corps Photographs of American Military Activity and is maintained by the U.S. National Archives (Identifier: 530951). Click on the image for a better view. In front of the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City, is an impressive statue of a man on a horse. Who is he? Why was this person chosen to “"welcome" visitors as they enter the museum? The statue depicts Theodore R. Roosevelt, Jr., America’s twenty-sixth president, astride his horse, Texas. He is known, among many other things, as: TR; Teddy (a nickname he disliked but after whom the “Teddy Bear” was originally named); A face on Mt. Rushmore; The driving force behind the Panama Canal; A passionate conservationist and student of natural history; A Colonel in the Rough Riders; Governor of New York; Badlands hunter and cowboy; Loving husband and father of six children; Nobel Peace Prize winner. (He was the first American to win a Nobel Prize in any category.) In fact, TR’s disparate careers provided fodder for contemporary cartoonists. His unexpected rise to the presidency began when his career in New York politics ended. Thinking it would be better to have this man-with-different-views working at the national (not the state) level, New York Republican leaders urged President McKinley to pick TR as his running mate in the 1900 presidential election. (The sitting Vice President, Garret Hobart, had died in late 1899.) But ... Who could have imagined that a deranged assassin would shoot William McKinley six months after his second election? Who would have thought that TR - at age 42 - would become America’s youngest chief executive? Who could have predicted that a Roosevelt presidency would create a significant turning point in American history? Teddy Roosevelt’s life was filled with such twists and turns, joys and sorrows. He was smitten with Alice Hathaway Lee, and they were married soon after his 1880 graduation from Harvard University. They had a little daughter, also named Alice, who was born on the 12th of February, 1884. When the baby was two days old, TR lost his wife - and his mother - on the same day. Alice had Bright’s Disease, a kidney ailment, which was undiagnosed because of her pregnancy. Devastated - the link takes you to his diary entry for that day - Roosevelt could not bear to speak his wife’s name again. Later, he married a longtime friend - Edith Kermit Carrow - with whom he had five more children. He and his family lived in a 23-room mansion, called Sagamore Hill, overlooking Oyster Bay Harbor and Long Island Sound in Oyster Bay, New York. Always an adventurer, TR and his son Kermit gave the American Natural History Museum some of the specimen collected on their African safari. During a 1914 trip to Brazil, where he and Kermit explored the River of Doubt (later renamed Rio Roosevelt), TR became ill with a fever which may have contributed to his sudden and untimely death, at age 60, on 6 January 1919. We can still hear TR’s voice and see him in silent movies. A few sound recordings of his speeches survive. Let’s listen as he explains his beliefs and political philosophy. From Social and Industrial Justice, a speech given at a time when child labor in America was common: “We hold that the night labor of women and children is abnormal and should be prohibited...” (For this segment, move the cursor to 3:10 into the tape.) From The Right of the People to Rule, an address TR gave at Carnegie Hall, New York City, on 20 March 1912: I believe in the right of the people to rule. I believe that the majority of the plain people of the United States will, day in and day out, make fewer mistakes in governing themselves than any smaller class or body of men, no matter what their training, will make in trying to govern them. (For these segments, listen to the beginning of the tape, then move the cursor to 2:52.) The man who spoke those words would have been pleased that it is his statue welcoming every visitor to the museum he so loved.

  • 704 the NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY the Notorious
    704 THE NEW ENGLAND QUARTERLY The Notorious Elizabeth Tuttle is a pleasure to read. Its compact size, clear and graceful prose, and layered insights into the enduring nature of American attitudes toward gender and the family would make it easily adaptable for classroom use. Chamberlain rightly con- tends that the portrayal of Tuttle as a rebellious, promiscuous woman has had such incredible staying power because it conforms to cul- turally entrenched ideas about female deviance that have long been “deployed to legitimate male dominance” and that still give “weight to adultery allegations in contested divorce cases” and raise questions “about the veracity of a woman’s word in rape trials” (pp. 188–89). Her carefully researched and imaginative deconstruction of the “no- toriety” surrounding Elizabeth Tuttle vividly illustrates how focusing attention on those who may have “inhabit[ed the] periphery” (p. 1)of early American society can illuminate truths that still resonate today. Michelle Marchetti Coughlin is an independent scholar and the author of One Colonial Woman’s World: The Life and Writings of Mehetabel Chandler Coit (2012). Edith Kermit Roosevelt: Creating the Modern First Lady.ByLewis L. Gould. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2013. Pp. viii, 176.$34.95 cloth; $14.99 e-book.) Edith Kermit Roosevelt could easily be labeled “the other Roo- sevelt first lady,” for in the canon of White House scholarship much has been written about Eleanor Roosevelt, Edith’s niece by marriage, but little on Edith herself. The lone biography, Sylvia Jukes Mor- ris’s Edith Kermit Roosevelt (1980), portrays Theodore Roosevelt’s second wife as an adept hostess, confident wife and mother, and strong personality.

Then fill in theansweronyouranswerdocument. from Jake Drake, Teacher’s Pet by Andrew Clements 1 When I was in third grade, we got five new computers in our classroom. Mrs. Snavin was my third-grade teacher, and she acted like computers were scary, especially the new ones. She always needed to look at a how-to book and the computer at the same time. Even then, she got mixed up a lot. Then she had to call Mrs. Reed, the librarian, to come and show her what to do. 2 So it was a Monday morning in May, and Mrs. Snavin was sitting in front of a new computer at the back of the room. She was confused about a program we were supposed to use for a math project. My desk was near the computers, and I was watching her. 3 Mrs. Snavin looked at the screen, and then she looked at this book, and then back at the screen again. Then she shook her head and let out this big sigh. I could tell she was almost ready to call Mrs. Reed. 4 I’ve always liked computers, and I know how to do some stuff with them. Like turn them on and open programs, play games and type, make drawings, and build Web pages—things like that.

  • Presidential Illness and Disability: the Health And
    PRESIDENTIAL ILLNESS AND DISABILITY: THE HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF PRESIDENTS FROM 1789-1901 A THESIS IN Political Science Presented to the Faculty of the of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by CHAD LAWRENCE KING B.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2008 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 CHAD LAWRENCE KING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRESIDENTIAL ILLNESS AND DISABILITY: THE HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF PRESIDENTIAL TICKETS FROM 1789-1901 Chad Lawrence King, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT Presidential health and performance has been a subject of study by both political scientists and historians, many of whom have examined the health of our nation’s presidents. This study of presidential history is not new. Many monographs and articles have examined this subject in great detail. While these have led to new interpretations of presidential history, they are inadequate for understanding the problem that presidential ill health and disability have presented during our nation’s history. Most studies focus only on the twentieth century and the importance of health into the modern presidency. While the focus of health on the modern presidency has greatly changed our understanding of individual presidents and their effect on history, it nonetheless presents only a partial picture of the problem, since it neglects the effect of presidential health during the early years of the republic. I argue that presidential health has always been of prime importance and its effect is certainly not limited to recent decades. This study will also focus, when appropriate, on the health of the vice president during certain administrations.

  • Chapter 18 Video, “The Stockyard Jungle,” Portrays the Horrors of the Meatpacking Industry First Investigated by Upton Sinclair
    The Progressive Movement 1890–1919 Why It Matters Industrialization changed American society. Cities were crowded with new immigrants, working conditions were often bad, and the old political system was breaking down. These conditions gave rise to the Progressive movement. Progressives campaigned for both political and social reforms for more than two decades and enjoyed significant successes at the local, state, and national levels. The Impact Today Many Progressive-era changes are still alive in the United States today. • Political parties hold direct primaries to nominate candidates for office. • The Seventeenth Amendment calls for the direct election of senators. • Federal regulation of food and drugs began in this period.

  • The Prez Quiz Answers
    PREZ TRIVIAL QUIZ AND ANSWERS Below is a Presidential Trivia Quiz and Answers. GRADING CRITERIA: 33 questions, 3 points each, and 1 free point. If the answer is a list which has L elements and you get x correct, you get x=L points. If any are wrong you get 0 points. You can take the quiz one of three ways. 1) Take it WITHOUT using the web and see how many you can get right. Take 3 hours. 2) Take it and use the web and try to do it fast. Stop when you want, but your score will be determined as follows: If R is the number of points and T 180R is the number of minutes then your score is T + 1: If you get all 33 right in 60 minutes then you get a 100. You could get more than 100 if you do it faster. 3) The answer key has more information and is interesting. Do not bother to take the quiz and just read the answer key when I post it. Much of this material is from the books Hail to the chiefs: Political mis- chief, Morals, and Malarky from George W to George W by Barbara Holland and Bland Ambition: From Adams to Quayle- the Cranks, Criminals, Tax Cheats, and Golfers who made it to Vice President by Steve Tally. I also use Wikipedia. There is a table at the end of this document that has lots of information about presidents. THE QUIZ BEGINS! 1. How many people have been president without having ever held prior elected office? Name each one and, if they had former experience in government, what it was.
